Inception and early years (2004-2011) The Shakey's V-League was established in 2004 by
Sports Vision led by former
Philippine Basketball Association commissioner
Jun Bernardino,
Ricky Palou,
Moying Martelino and Rhea Navarro. The league was initially an inter-collegiate women's competition with participants from the
UAAP,
NCAA, and
CESAFI. The SVL's founding was in cooperation with
Shakey's Pizza (Philippines) Prior to the league's establishment, the sport was in a state of stagnation since the 1990s with the women's collegiate tournament of the Metro Manila-based
UAAP at that point serving as the
de facto highest tier of competitive volleyball in the country. that a men's division will be included in its
21st conference with four teams. On May 24, 2016, it was officially announced that Shakey's V-League will be aired on
S+A following an agreement between Sports Vision, Shakey's and
ABS-CBN Sports.
Rebrand to PVL (2016) In December 2016, it was announced that starting the 14th season in 2017, Shakey's V-League will be renamed as the
Premier Volleyball League (PVL). The season will start with the Reinforced Conference instead of the Open Conference in March 2017. The
Spikers' Turf, a men's league spun-off from the league will be merged back into the PVL. Shakey's Pizza will remain as a presenter or major sponsor.
Return of the V-League (2022) Due to the
Premier Volleyball League's transition into a professional league, Sports Vision revived the
V-League competition which collegiate teams can participate in 2022. With Shakey's not being the title sponsor in the new league, they would partner with Athletic Events and Sports Management Group Inc. (ACES), former owners of the
Philippine Super Liga, to create the
Shakey's Super League. ==Teams==
